I need help!?

Question:

I need help!?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: You're already making an amazing first step: attending a school of performing arts.

Ways to practice: Take a monologue, or even just a book and practice reading it dramatically in a mirror. It might feel silly right away, but you learn right away what you look like when you act. Using a memorized piece is even better. When you know what you look like, you can improve.

Are you taking acting and dancing classes at school? Just be sure to keep up with all assignments, and yes, practice, practice, practice.

Also try to get involved in theatre outside of your school if possible. Audition as much as you can because if you can get auditioning down to a fine art, then it will make your acting career much better.

I'm sure you'll be doing dance recitals, so the performance portion of your dancing is well-covered.

It's also never too early to put together a theatre resum㩮 Let me know if you'd like tips on doing that: honeyrouge@yahoo.com.

And don't forget to have fun. Performing is one of the most exciting things a person can have a passion for. Don't let it become a job.
